The Greening of One Health: Plants, Pathogens, and the Environment

One Health has an aspirational goal of ensuring the health of humans, animals, plants, and the environment through transdisciplinary, collaborative research. At its essence, One Health addresses the human clash with Nature by formulating strategies to repair and restore a (globally) perturbed ecosystem. A more nuanced evaluation of humankind's impact on the environment(Nature, Earth, Gaia) would fully intercalate plants, plant pathogens, and beneficial plant microbes into One Health. Here, several examples pointout how plants and plant microbes are keystones of One Health. Meaning-ful cross-pollination between plant, animal, and human health practitionerscan drive discovery and application of innovative tools to address the manycomplex problems within the One Health framework.
